2025-26 LA Clippers = the OLDEST team in NBA History

The LA Clippers have officially become the oldest team in NBA history, with an average age of 33.2 years, surpassing the previous record held by the Stockton-and-Malone era Utah Jazz. This follows the official news of Chris Paul joining the team.

Analysts Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine suggest that despite their age, the Clippers' depth and versatility could position them to contend for the top spot in the Western Conference if circumstances favor them. Their analysis highlights veteran players like Brook Lopez, Bradley Beal, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, and Chris Paul as key figures aiming for success after an interesting offseason.
